Hanging With Neighbors!

It's taken a few years, but we have finally gotten to know our neighbors!  It's so nice to have friends close by.

Whitney and Tom invited us over today and we had such a fun time!

Walker loved their pool!

And, so did Everly!

Walker and Everly joined in on a girl picture!

It really is important to have friends nearby!  It's so nice to spend a pretty afternoon together and then walk home right before bedtime!

I'm looking forward to many more fun times with these fun friends!

First Swim

When Clark and I went to Grand Prairie for the Snowman Classic, the kids stayed in Conroe.  Needless to say, we were VERY excited to see them when we got home on Sunday.

We decided taking them for their first swim of the season was a good way to spend the afternoon!

Ready for the pool!

Look!  It's warm enough to get in!

Could her suit be any cuter??

We had a great afternoon and I have a feeling many, many hours will be spent in that pool this summer.  They both loved being in the water.

We love summer!

Snowman Classic 2012

What an amazing weekend.  We worked really hard to make the Snowman Classic great, but it exceeded all expectations.  From start to finish, it was wonderful.  The outpouring of support for Googie and his family was incredible.  Lots of great stories about Googie.  And, I promise you, I will never get tired of hearing what a great guy he was, because it's just so true!  

So, I have a lot of pictures, so I'll just get to it.  

Carson, Ryder and Savannah, the reason for the tournament!

Beth Ann is a dear friend who I have know my whole life.  And, let me tell you, she is hysterical.  And, she's the best raffle ticket seller I've ever seen!!!!

There is no doubt that Bessie Poo worked her tail off all day.  I don't know what we would have done without her!

I love this one of me and Mom!

Sweet Clark.

I have to admit, the day was much more emotional than I thought it would be.  It was so overwhelming to see the guys together supporting Googie's memory and his family.

Right after they took this picture, they went to their carts and went out on the course.  It was so special.  I lost it.  Very powerful!

So, Mom and I went inside to take it all in!

And, I'm thankful that I got this shot!

Maren and Tinsley ruled the registration table! I'm so glad they were there!

But, then we went outside!  Uh oh.... Debra driving the golf cart!

We had a great time on the course.  It was fun to check in on our men!

And, see them in action.... here's my dad, mid-swing!

And, one of my favorite's.... a shot of the team!

Blaine had the vision of this tournament.... Heather and I managed to help make it a reality.  Blaine knew the Snowman Classic would be a success.  And, that's exactly what it was.  

Googie would be so proud.

Mother's Day

This is my sixth post today, so when you finish this post, keep going! Wow, I really got behind on blogging.  I'm glad to be caught up.

We had a really nice Mother's Day.  Bunny and RayRay kept the kids overnight, so Clark and I could go out on the town.  Which means I got to sleep late on Mother's Day.  What a fabulous gift!

The kids had a ball over there and we really enjoyed our day.  The weather was fantastic!

Look at my sweeties!

Bunny got them a fun water table.  They loved it!  They watered the flowers.

And, gave Gabby a bath.

And, got so wet that they had to start losing clothes!

You can't tell in the pictures, but they really loved it when the water went really high!  They squealed with delight.

Such a nice afternoon.

I'm very blessed to have such an amazing mother.  Mom, you are the best and I love you.

Walker and Everly LOVE their grandmothers.  They are truly lucky to have Bunny and Nanna in their lives!

Happy Mother's Day!

Date Night

Clark runs with a fun crowd and gets invited to pretty neat things.  We got to go to the Alley Theater Ball over the weekend.

I always find it fun to dress up:

Red is such a fun color!  And, I got to wear my red wedding shoes.  They are my most favorite shoes ever, so I was a happy girl.

Here's my handsome husband.

I love a good looking guy in a tux!

We had a really fun night.  So fun to have a man that will dress up and take me dancing!

A Star is Born

Walker was quite a hit at his school program!  He seems so grown up!  He sang and did all the cute little motions.

Check out our little duck:

Clapping and stomping his feet.

Walker with his beloved teachers, Ms. Janet and Ms. Robin:

A year ago I continued to question myself about the decisions we were making about Walker's school.  Is this the right place?  Should he go fewer days?  More days?  I really stressed about all those decisions.  Looking back, that was silly.  Walker has had a FANTASTIC year at St. James.  He has blossomed!  Ms. Robin and Ms. Janet are his favorite people right now.  Every single morning when he wakes up, he says, "Do I get to see Ms. Robin and Ms. Janet today?"  What a blessing they have been in my sweet boy's life.

And, guess what.... Everly will get to be with them next year!  Walker will be so jealous.

Learning New Chores

How long do you think they will want to help do this?

So cute and so helpful!
